The accuracy and precision of kPL estimates improve substantially for peak signal-to-noise ratio above approximately 20. Accurate estimates of perfusion parameters (combinations of vb , kve , and the pyruvate vascular input function) and transmit calibration at high excitation angles have the greatest effect on the accuracy of kinetic analyses.
